However, that bashful expression only lasted for a second before it was replaced by anger. She recalled that just as she got off work last night, she was caught by that damned waiter, saying that she needed a document urgently and had to get out before today.
Although she loved him dearly, she knew that she couldn't afford to be sloppy at work. She could only reluctantly go back to work on that document, and the result was that even if she was dissatisfied with him doing it again, she would still be dissatisfied.
After doing it N times, the hour hand pointed to 10 o'clock. He was finally satisfied, but she wished she could take off her high heels and beat him to death. He had a fox-like smile on his face, and no matter how she looked at it, he seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Who would have thought that after work he would insist on treating her to a drink, saying that he was thanking her for her help today, that she wouldn't let him go? He pulled her into the car and drove off, and after that he drank her up so hard that he almost drank her until she was drunk.
He started off on a business trip for a week and when he came back, she would have to fly to a rich country. This way, things would go on for months. Thinking of this, she hated that waiter to the point of making her grit her teeth.
In the blink of an eye, it was the new year. That morning, Mu Wenwen woke up and lay on the warm bed. Suddenly, she felt a little sad, because she unconsciously thought back to last year's New Year's Day when they were together.
Now that they recalled it, they realized that it was the only time in a long time that they had not quarrelled and had not gone into the cold war. It was peaceful and carefree.
Luo Xingtong called to say that they had arranged to have a party together tonight and asked if she wanted to come. Actually, she didn't usually like such occasions. Today, she probably agreed because she was in a bad mood and needed to vent.
Luo Xintong was now doing well in that small magazine, and Weiwei had joined a large company to plan for the written work. The most surprising thing was the seemingly tough and manly Anan, who said that he was going to teach in the west after graduation.
After the four of them gathered money for a drink, they switched to KTV. They were good friends who had the same temperament and they had known each other for many years.
As the four in the box were singing, her cell phone rang. She looked at it for a moment, then clicked it off and continued singing, staring at the big screen.
But the man at the other end wouldn't give up and wouldn't let go. After the bell rang again, she took the phone and set his name as "Inkfish Ball." Then she dug out the battery and threw the phone into her bag.
By the time the party ended, it was almost 12. The four of them had drunk quite a bit, supporting each other out of the KTV.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Old Gu anxiously waiting for her with the chauffeur. When he saw her, he immediately went forward to help her into the car.
Because of the fact that she had stayed in the mansion this year, there were a few people left in Gu Mo City. Old Gu stared at the slightly drunk person in the back seat and kept wiping the sweat off his forehead as he thought to himself: Aiyo, Aunt.
Just now, he was almost scolded to death by the young master because she came out for a gathering. This old face of his had been scolded to the point that his face was covered in dirt. He didn't even know where to put it in the future.
Why didn't she answer the young master's call and even shut down her phone? He had to come here in the middle of the night with the chauffeur to pick her up.
When the car stopped to wait for the traffic lights, the drunk Mu Biao tilted his head and saw a 24-hour convenience store. A strange thought suddenly popped into her mind.
She opened the car door and got off, scaring Old Gu's heart out of his throat. He quickly followed her.
"Ma'am, what do you want me to buy for you?"
Do you think it's easy for him to run back and forth when he's an old man?
He walked straight towards the frozen area. Old Gu, who was behind her, had a puzzled expression on his face as he watched her pick a bunch of black fish balls and bring them over to settle the bill. Then, he turned around and smiled sweetly at him.
"Butler Gu, let's go back and eat some Inkfish Pill later?"
"…"
He had no reaction other than to wipe away his sweat. It was already the middle of the night, yet she said she wanted to eat a hotpot. The problem was that she only bought one kind of Inkfish Pill if she wanted to eat hotpot …
After returning home, he had no choice but to help her prepare some food for the hotpot. Later on, he had thought that since he could not eat only the black fish balls, he had prepared some vegetables for her.
Thus, Mu Ran happily ate a round of black fish balls, swept up all the vegetables, and went upstairs to sleep. Old Gu's mouth was wide open as he stared at the table, which had been swept through the wind and clouds. This was amazing, but it didn't grow any meat at all!
When her figure disappeared from the bedroom, he wiped off the sweat that he had been busy with all night. He then took out his cell phone and carefully reported: "After going out for an entire night, I came back and ate half a catty of Inkfish Pill!"
He then added, "And when she eats it, she jabs it as if it were her enemy!" Bite! Chewing!
Gu Mo Cheng, who was on the other side of the ocean, shivered from Old Gu's words before frowning and asking,
"Is she that fond of black fish balls?"
He recalled that he had had a hot pot with her last year, when she had expressed a strong interest in the squid balls.
Old Gu also shook his head in confusion.
"I'm not sure. I just went to a supermarket and bought this kind of food!"
The two of them discussed over the phone for a long time. Finally, Old Gu asked.
"Young Master, do you still want Madam to answer the phone?"
"Forget it. She should be sleeping by now. We'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Gu Mo Cheng thought for a while before replying.
He had heard from Old Gu that she was going out to eat with Luo Xintong and the others tonight, so he was a little worried about her, because he knew they were all very crazy. As a result, he had called her all night long, but she hadn't picked up at all, and in the end, her phone had even been turned off, so he had no choice but to send Old Gu and the driver to pick her up.
On the night of the thirtieth of the new year, Mu Ran packed two plates of dumplings from Old Gu's bag and sent them to Lijie. The moment he opened the door, he saw Lijin standing at the entrance with a cigarette between his fingers. He planned to leave.
His injuries were almost healed, and he looked much more energetic. Black clothed with his short hair, unruly and unruly, even Mu Wenwen was shocked by his imposing aura as he muttered this question.
"You're leaving?"
He didn't say anything. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the item in her hand. She quickly said,
"These are the dumplings packed by the steward. It's a tradition of the Jia Country. Tonight, we will be eating this!"
Although Gu Mo Cheng's body also had the aura of a Daoist, his temperament was clear and clean. His words and actions were just hiding an oppressive sharpness.
Unlike him, he seemed to be soaked in darkness, emitting a strong aura of darkness from head to toe. That aura was so strong that it was suffocating.
He remained silent. He narrowed his eyes and disappeared into the smoke. She could only follow him to the kitchen and find a bowl and chopsticks for him.
"You take your time, I'm leaving first!"
"Won't you stay and eat together?"
He grabbed her, the man who was cold and stern as he immersed himself in the darkness. A dark light shone in his eyes as he looked at her.
She felt uncomfortable under his gaze and gave a hollow laugh.
"I've already eaten. You go ahead and eat me first!"
Then he hurriedly ran out. Mother, this man was more and more scary. At the beginning when he was saved, he was just a harmless little sheep. Now, he was gradually turning into a wild beast with a sharp mouth and fierce teeth.
In fact, she hadn't eaten yet, she hadn't stayed — because he made her uneasy, and because she had just been in that little apartment, feeling the new year, and suddenly she was thinking about the events that had happened with him during the Spring Festival last year.
She didn't want this sweet and warm memory to experience once again with other men …
